Description
Are you an experienced Clinical Negligence Lawyer ready to take the next step in your career? Thompsons Solicitors — the UK’s leading social justice law firm — is seeking dedicated and driven lawyers at all levels to join our specialist Clinical Negligence team.
This is a senior opportunity to use your expertise where it truly matters: securing justice for injured and vulnerable clients who rely on us to fight their corner.
The role...
In this pivotal role, you will manage a high‑value, multi‑track caseload from initial client interview through to successful resolution. You will lead complex clinical negligence claims with skill, empathy and sound strategic judgement, ensuring the highest standards of litigation and client care throughout.
Alongside your own caseload, this role requires strong and proven supervision experience. You will play an active part in supervising, mentoring and developing junior lawyers, providing technical guidance, oversight and support to ensure cases progress effectively and to a consistently high standard.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work with a high degree of autonomy while contributing to a collaborative, high‑performing team, where knowledge‑sharing and mutual support are central to success.
